Visiting Costume

Joseph L. Boyd

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dress with detailed design elements. The main focus is a full-length dress depicted in the center, featuring a high collar and long sleeves. The dress is adorned with subtle floral patterns and pink trim along the neckline, cuffs, and hem. Alongside the dress are two additional illustrations: one is an outline of the dress highlighting the floral embroidery, and the other is an enlarged section of lace detailing. Additionally, a small illustration of two small flowers in purple and yellow is included at the bottom right. The layout serves as a detailed design or fashion plate, showcasing the dress's intricate craftsmanship and design elements.
